Need to notch the frame need advise
I have a LA Exotics and we are in the process of dropping a 466 Ford crate motor into it. We need to notch the frame next to the starter to make it fit. I have been told it should be reinforced but I am unclear on exactly the best way. If you have any advise or photos please help. Thanks a million once again!!!!

I have basically the same engine as you, but it fit great between my lonestar frame rails. My problem was with the shifter on my toploader. I had to notch out a 3" section of the corner of the seat pan. After that, I welded 1/4" steel to fill in the hole I had cut out. No problem. I also had to cut the side of the bellhousing by the starter.
Good luck, Tim

DanP,
If you are having to notch it because of the starter, you might look to see if a smaller starter is a solution.
Just a thought.
